The old Sheepscot shelter was shipped to Top of the Mountain this afternoon.
Using the big forklift to lower the shelter down further on the flatcar. The shelter was left 8 inches higher on the car the day we craned the shelter onto the car to pull the lifting beams out from underneath.
Moving the cars from the end of the mainline into the yard to assemble the train.
Stopped before Brook Crossing to check the track level in the curve.
Coming through Sutters.
Cockeye curve.
Alna Center
Top of the Mountain
The station will sit just about where the open car is on the main.

The posts get covered with trim boards. The middle two posts have trim on them at the top.

Rail supports bolted down in the pit and the rail laid down on the supports.
The roof got a layer of plywood followed by a layer of ice and water shield. Metal roofing is being ordered for the building this week.
Windows and doors going in on the west side.
Shingles being put on above the doors.
Turntable from the roof.

Ted Miles, WW&F Life Membeer
The smoke jacks will be steel pipe through the roof with fabricated sheetmetal hoods.
